A trio of Cambuslang youngsters are set to take part in the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony tonight (Wednesday July 23).

Zara Grew (14), Leona Murray (eight) and Max Gibson (15) have been working hard for weeks on the hush-hush ceremony - and they’ve not been able to tell a soul about what the event will involve.

All three of the trio are members of Stagecoach East Kilbride, who are sending a group of 14 to perform at the ceremony, which is being held at Celtic Park.

Famous Scottish singers like Rod Stewart, Susan Boyle and Amy Macdonald are all set to perform at the bash, which kick-starts the Commonwealth Games that’s running from today through until Sunday August 3.

Sharon Symon, Principal of Stagecoach East Kilbride said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have provided the opportunity for the students to audition for the Games ceremony and delighted that their talent meant they were picked.

“Normally there is a break between term time ending at the end of June and our one week Summer Workshop in August, but there has been no break this time for this group who are working incredibly hard.”

The theatre school, one of more than 700 Stagecoach schools across the UK, meets at the West Kirk halls on a Saturday morning with terms running in parallel with ordinary school term dates.
